Kyndryl certified by DTA for cloud offering

Kyndryl has been formally recognised by the DTA as a ‘certified strategic’ service provider for its Government zCloud offering in the Sydney and Canberra regions.

The company says Government zCloud is a federated sovereign mainframe platform designed for the Australian Government and residing in strategic certified data centres.

The hosting certification framework was developed to operationalise the principles outlined in the whole-of-government hosting strategy, and to support the secure management of government systems and data. The framework is designed to assist agencies by enabling them to identify and source hosting services that meet enhanced privacy, sovereignty and security requirements.

“The certification of Kyndryl’s Government zCloud represents our commitment to help further Australia’s mission to become one of the leading digital governments globally, by providing state-of-the-art, contemporary mainframe cloud capabilities,” said Kerry Purcell, President, Kyndryl Australia and New Zealand.

“Through enabling greater interoperability across jurisdictions and agencies, and establishing more innovative mainframe processing services, we are proud to support the government’s digital modernisation agenda in its goal of driving societal and economic benefits across all sectors of Australian society.”
